Cassandra Ferraro 5:18pmAug 17 at 5:18pm Manage Discussion Entry Money laundering is an illicit criminal activity that threatens the United States on both a national and transnational level. First addressed in the UN Vienna 1988 Convention, money laundering is described as “the conversion or transfer of property, knowing that such property is derived from any offense(s), for the purpose of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of the property or of assisting any person who is involved in such offense(s) to evade the legal consequences of his actions” (United Nations, 2021). There are three stages of money laundering. The first, placement, is the removal of money from the illicit crime. The second, layering, is disguising the money trail. The third, integration, happens when the money is made available to the launders in what appears to be from a legitimate source. While there are many money laundering possibilities, money laundering is especially a threat to the United States because often times, money laundering finances terrorism. Terrorist financing is the means that terrorist organizations financially support their efforts to pose a threat to national and international security (United Nations, 2021). Due to developments in technology, money launders that used to be operate through cash and checks, can now conduct their business through other financial means, to include bitcoin and other electronic currencies (Department of State, 2021). In 2020, the United Nations stated that approximately $1.6 trillion are laundered every year, which is 2.7% of the global GDP (United Nations, 2020). Unfortunately, experts believe that that number will be higher in 2021 due to many criminals taking advantage of the pandemic. Dr. Mayaki stated that the government’s increased control over healthcare and social protection has led to relaxed measures regarding illegal operations and money laundering (United Nations, 2020). However, relaxing our standards, even in this time of need, further victimizes American people. Money laundering can transcend over many different local, state, and international jurisdictions, all which leaves the United State’s borders vulnerable. In August of 2021, for example, a Chinese national and several naturalized US citizens were arrested and pled guilty to laundering $30 million in drug money in collaboration with international drug-trafficking organizations (DOJ, 2021). The American citizens involved in this investigation worked closely with citizens of Hong Kong to move profits from their cocaine operation through the global financial system. Not only were the defendants smuggling drug money and disguising it as legal profit, but they also worked with who they thought was a corrupt US Department of State Official to obtain illegally made passports (DOJ, 2021). This investigation, while fruitful, was a result of a collaboration against many different government agencies. Like many othe ...

Organized crime refers to the crime conducted by local, national, or international groupings. These groups are highly centralized enterprises and are run by criminals who are engaged in illegal conduct for profit intention. They have an organized hierarchy, non-ideological motives, and are governed by rules and codes (Jones and Bartlett Learning, n.d.).
Three major types of organized crime include gang criminality, racketeering, and syndicate crime. Gang criminals are usually engaged in local offense like robbery, vehicle theft, kidnapping, ransom, and murder. They are hardened criminals who are dangerous to society. Racketeering is an activity in which the criminal gang is involved in extorting money from legitimate as well as illegitimate businesses by the use of intimidation. It consists in selling adulterated commodities, deceiving people, selling spurious drugs, and so forth. Racketeers usually don’t take away all profits and share it with the owners of businesses. In return, they want fixed money from the owners of illegal activities and allow prostitution, liquor selling, and gambling to continue unabated. Syndicate crime refers to the furnishing of unlawful goods and services by organized criminal groups, often known as mafia. Illegal products include liquor and drugs, while illicit services involve trafficking of girls, gambling, and so forth.
Several groups as The Cosa Nostra, The Russian mafia, The Mexican drug cartels, and The Asian Organized Crime Groups have been considered as criminal groups involved in the organized crime at national and transnational levels. International criminal groups operate under various structures with stable hierarchies and network. They try to influence government policies by using corrupt as well as legitimate methods (The United States Department of Justice, 2015).
With changing industrial contours, organized crime has also shifted from traditional ways to tech-savvy crimes (example: cybercrime). It has exploited technological advancements and communication strategies to expand cross-border. This high-tech realm has made many crimes an international threat rather than a local danger. Today, these crimes are conducted by nimble and loosely structured groups that have a global reach. Refined telephone networks have fostered rapid communication, thereby revolutionizing the illicit commerce (Bjelopera & Finklea, 2012).
While technology has facilitated the growth of organized crime, challenges posed by technological advancements in tracking and investigating organized crime need special mention. Investigation of cases has become difficult because of the sophisticated screening options as firewalls. In a drug investigation case that was carried out jointly by the United States and Colombian authorities, it was found that the presence of the firewall made it intricate for authorities to reach them.

This document analyzes Nigeria's legal and administrative frameworks for combating terrorist financing and money laundering. It discusses international conventions and frameworks, as well as relevant Nigerian laws like the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act and Economic and Financial Crimes Act. While Nigeria has demonstrated commitment by implementing these laws and frameworks, the author notes that terrorist financing and money laundering continue due to professional criminals and loopholes in the laws. Key issues include vague definitions of suspicious transactions, asset forfeiture processes, and gaps in addressing nonprofit misuse and proliferation financing. The author aims to clarify terms, appraise the frameworks, and provide recommendations to strengthen Nigeria's anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing regimes.

This document is a white paper submitted for graduation from the Leadership Command College that argues for the creation of offense-specific fusion centers focused on identity fraud. It notes that identity fraud costs the U.S. $25 billion annually and discusses how current efforts across different levels of law enforcement and private industry are not well coordinated. The paper argues that fusion centers could help mitigate these costs by facilitating real-time information sharing between relevant organizations to more efficiently investigate identity fraud cases and criminal rings. However, some counterarguments relate to concerns about privacy violations and agencies' reluctance to share information. The paper ultimately recommends establishing identity fraud fusion centers with proper oversight and policies to address these issues.

The Effectiveness of Anti-Human Trafficking Laws

Project Proposal: The Effectiveness of Anti-Human Trafficking Laws
Project Background
Human trafficking (HT) is considered and criminalized by the United Nations as a form of modern slavery. It is also considered to be a major human rights challenge for authorities both in the developed and developing economies. The crime manifests in the form of sex trafficking and labor trafficking. Early perceptions of human trafficking tended to view it as entailing sexual exploitation of women and girls. Today, the United States categorizes human trafficking as encompassing wide arrays of crimes and affecting boys and men as well (Federal Anti-Trafficking Laws, 2019). The federal government recognizes that human trafficking in the United States predominantly takes the form of domestic servitude, forced labor in construction industries, brides trafficking, and coerced working in agricultural plantations.
The United Nations defines trafficking in persons as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation” (Zimmerman & Kiss, 2017). While a lot of human trafficking takes place within the country, a recent trend in international trafficking has created cartels across the world that facilitate illegal movement of people mainly from poor, low-income countries to developed economies (Global Report on Trafficking in Persons, 2014). Countries such as the Netherlands, Romania, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone have been cited internationally as major origin and transit countries for human trafficking.
The impact of HT on individuals and economies cannot be understated. International human trafficking (IHT) is known to encompass drug trafficking. Trafficked persons are forced under threat to their lives to traffic narcotics across international borders. The risk posed to victims is immense since it not only impairs their mental capacity but also exposes them to punitive sentences if caught trafficking drugs on behalf of their controlling masters. Besides cognitive impairment and potential memory loss, victims of HT are exposed to despicable physical abuse including rape, sexual slavery, servitude, and aggravated assault resulting in bodily harm. In other instances, victims are abused and killed. Analysis by the U.S State Department of recent cases of HT indicate that a significant number of victims are children who are duped under the pretext of finding a better life abroad or in large urban centers where they cannot be easily identified.

Financial institutions spends millions of dollars every year bolstering their defences against terrorist financing. Terrorists operate by camouflaging themselves amongst civilian populations. If they can evade the authorities and intelligence communities, how can financial institutions mount a credible defence against the threat they pose to society?

Abstract
Transnational organized crime and terrorism were formerly two distinct issues for policymakers. After the end of the Cold War, many terrorist organizations could not receive finances from states and had to turn to criminal groups who had access to money and weapons. Thus, the pairing was an ideal one because it established a lucrative market where profits were garnered by the criminals and necessary goods and services were obtained by the terrorists. The nexus was built upon this market of necessity for both groups. Crime and terrorism overlap in the modern era because they each can be of assistance; the organized criminals can earn substantial amounts of wealth and terrorist organizations can receive the money and weapons needed for their political goals. In the end, however, it is global security which suffers as an effect of the cooperation between these groups. Both groups thrive when there is an environment of fear in the populace. Terrorist use this fear to try and force a government to do something they want, while organized criminals use fear to maintain control over their territory. Through these observations, it is evident that organized crime and terrorism do not align with a Christian worldview. Whereas the Bible conveys a life of righteousness, the shared link between criminals and terrorists is one of violence and self-interest.

Transnational Organized Crime and Terrorism
Transnational organized crime and terrorism are two separate things which very often overlap with each other in a few different ways. One way is how terrorists are ideal customers for the weapons which organized criminals are attempting to sell for large profits. Secondly, terrorists can commit criminal activities to finance their ideological objectives. Lastly, transnational organized criminals can resort to terrorism against those political and criminal justice institutions which threaten their ability to grow and earn money as criminal networks. Thus, the nexus between the two is very clear; criminals and terrorists use immoral and illicit behavior for self-sustaining goals and without a coordinated global response, both will continue to prey on their targets.
Links Between Organized Criminals and Terrorism
There is growing evidence which reveals that terrorists and organized criminals are linked and evolving in the same direction due to the weakening of government reach and legitimacy in many parts of the world (Shaw & Mahadevan, 2018). This is the negative aspect of globalization since transnational organized criminals are already experts in their field of getting illicit goods to their destination an.
The 3rd Directive in the UK
This document provides an introduction and overview of the implementation of the Third EU Money Laundering Directive in the United Kingdom. It discusses the global development of anti-money laundering regulations over time, from early unilateral state actions to increased international cooperation. It describes the three stages of money laundering (placement, layering, integration) and estimates the worldwide scale of money laundering. The document also outlines the UK's anti-money laundering framework, including key laws like the Proceeds of Crime Act 2000 and Money Laundering Regulations 2007. It concludes by noting that international policy has increasingly aimed to adopt harmonized anti-money laundering measures over the past two decades.

In the article Globalization’s Security Implications the author Lynn Davis discusses the security implications involved with the world becoming more globalized. Davis finds globalization is a multidimensional phenomenon that has become a rapidly evolving process due to new information technologies. Technologies and improved transportation methods have always been the cause for the world’s globalization. Through ships explorers discovered other civilizations and cultures while telephone and television allowed citizens all over the world to glimpse the live of citizens from other countries. New information technologies have sped up the pace of globalization which has benefited all societies but it has also resulted in serious security implications.
Davis finds possibilities to achieve economic prosperity, spread political freedom, and promote peace but it can also allow terrorists to wreak havoc and destruction on countries they once could not reach and gives organized crime group the opportunity to commit crime all over the globe. Information technology has also created a new criminal threat that everyone on the globe with access to new information technology, such as computers, internet, and smartphones, is vulnerable to becoming a victim. Cyber crime is a whole new crime genre that has emerged with new technology. It is employed by larger threats, such as transnational organized crime groups and terrorist groups, as well as smaller criminal threats all over the globe.
The author discusses expanding global economic interactions that can contribute to some of the problems that lie at the root of international security threats (Davis, 2003). For example through the action of American businesses and government China has now become a powerful economic player in global society. This communist society could use their new found economic strength to attempt to force other countries to embrace a communist political model even greater than this threat involves threats, such as Al Qaeda or other international terrorist groups.
Globalization is both good and bad. Through access to the global market businesses can flourish through getting their product or service to a large market but every citizen on the globe that is involved in the digital world become vulnerable to fraud and theft. The author discusses the beginnings of a global effort to stop crime but also outlines the many difficulties faced by international community. First Davis discusses the different transnational threats at length. The first being discussed and the threat they pose to global society especially westernized countries such as America.
The threat posed by the transnational terrorist is great but in this threat are countries, such as North Korea, that have obtained access to nuclear weapons they are now threatening to use against south Korea a ...

Term Paper
This document discusses Mexico's capacity to combat transnational organized crime according to the UN Palermo Convention. It argues that Mexico faces significant challenges in complying with the Convention's standards due to weaknesses in its state capacity. Specifically, Mexican laws and institutions are insufficiently equipped to deal with issues like trafficking of persons, smuggling of migrants, arms trafficking, and drug trafficking as defined by the Convention. Without strengthening its ability to respond effectively, Mexico's efforts to combat transnational crime will be in vain and democracy will suffer.
A case for an International Anti-Corruption Court
The Case for an International Anti-Corruption Court 2 COMBATING GRAND CORRUPTION: THE NEED FOR A NEW INTERNATIONAL APPROACH United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan rightly wrote in 2004 that: Corruption is an insidious plague that has a wide range of corrosive effects on societies. It undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets, erodes the quality of life and allows organized crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish.2 However, this rhetoric contrasts starkly with the reality of the ineffective international efforts to combat corruption. The experience of the United States provides a model for a new international approach to combating corruption. Public corruption exists in the United States. State and local officials, particularly, at times abuse their public offices for private gain. However, in contrast to many other nations, the United States is serious about combating corruption. In the United States, we do not rely on elected state prosecutors to do this because they are often part of the political establishment that must be challenged and, in any event, lack the necessary legal authority and resources. Rather, we rely primarily on federal investigators, prosecutors, and courts to pursue and punish corrupt state and local officials. In the United States, sometimes acting on information provided by private parties who want to remain anonymous, independent media often expose corruption. Federal investigators are authorized to conduct undercover operations and secretly record conversations, and are adept at unraveling complicated financial transactions.
Money laundering and gaming v1
Money laundering is a global problem that threatens national economies. Criminals exploit differences in anti-money laundering laws across jurisdictions to move illicit funds. Estimates suggest $1-2 trillion is laundered annually, though only 1% is seized. Casinos are vulnerable to money laundering due to their large cash transactions and financial services. The gaming industry has shifted focus to Asia, particularly Macau and Latin America is also a growing market. International organizations like FATF issue guidance on combating money laundering, including for casinos. A risk-based approach assesses the inherent and residual risks of money laundering threats based on a casino's activities, geography, clients, and products.
Transnational Crime and the Global Community
Transnational crime involves marketing illegal products or services across international borders to generate profits that support further criminal activity. It affects the global community by destabilizing governments and creating fear among citizens. Over 50 activities fall under transnational crime, including human trafficking, weapons smuggling, and drug trafficking. These criminal operations have far-reaching impacts on human rights and strain local resources and systems. Criminal organizations operate transnational drug and human trafficking rings like businesses, exploiting consumer demand and generating over $193 billion annually from drug sales in the U.S. alone. Violence is often used by these organizations to maintain control and influence.

Cyber Espionage: The Silent Crime of Cyberspace
Virginia Greiman
Boston University, Boston, USA
[email protected]
Abstract: In recent years, the disclosure of secrets through cyber infiltration of America’s largest intelligence organization,
the National Security Agency (NSA), has raised the fears of veteran intelligence officials and close allies around the globe that
no institution or government is secure from those who roam the discrete halls of cyberspace. Although espionage has existed
since before the days of the Greek mythological Trojan horse, no one could have envisioned the sophisticated use of
espionage in today’s networked world. Espionage has been used for political and military intelligence and economic and
industrial pursuits with a lack of understanding of all of the impacts on our daily lives. In the context of foreign or international
law, espionage is sometimes characterized as lawless, without controls or regulation, and it rarely distinguishes between
economic and security based cyber espionage. Through empirical analysis this paper explores the treatment of espionage
under various legal systems including those countries and regions considered the most advanced at cyber espionage, the
United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and China. To provide greater insight into the different perspectives of cyber
espionage from a legal standpoint, this paper distinguishes the law of national intelligence collection from the cr ...
independent graduate study
This document examines international efforts to combat terrorism in light of the 9/11 attacks. It discusses how defining terrorism has been challenging due to conflicting political interests and legal jurisdictions. While international agreements have described certain terrorist acts, there is still no consensus on a definition. The document also summarizes two case studies on the societal impacts of terrorism in the Philippines and Colombia, finding that terrorism can increase violence, restrict travel, and flourish more in urban areas with weaker social controls.

Human Trafficking in United States of America.
Human trafficking is among the Criminal activities that have been so common in most countries worldwide. Some of these countries suffer from the organized crimes by a group of gangsters. The fascinating thing is that majority of these criminal activities are observant with rational choicer theory and the conspiracy theory. By observing these theories imply that the organizers of the crime do it under their full conscience. Before they do the crime, they calculate the impacts of crime and find it more beneficial. They overlook the adverse effects to be outshined by the positive impact. Criminal cases take different nature; some may be due to robbery with violence. Some may be due to conning where the perpetrators of the criminal activity apply their witty character to get what they need from the victims. Human trafficking is one of the criminal activities that has since been ravaging the United States of America.
These criminal activities through human trafficking have impacted the concerned countries in several ways, for example, in the human rights aspect or financial aspect. Several countries, as a result, try as much as possible to combat such criminal cases. The concerned countries address these issues through the inaction of rules and laws that help tackle criminal cases. Others use religious intervention by preaching to people worldwide so that the criminals can change their minds and avoid involved in criminal activities.
This paper aims to address the crime topology of the human trafficking done by Ping in the United States of America. Under this, it will address the nature of people and the society in the country. In addition to that, it will address the structure of the government. The paper captures the scope of the organized crime of human trafficking, the impact of crime on the United States, policies that may help mitigate human trafficking crime, and finally, address the biblical allusion to the aspects of the organized crime above.

Osamas_Legacy.ppt
Osama bin Laden created a global jihadi financial network by leveraging his personal wealth and donors from Muslim organizations. He decentralized al-Qaeda's funding sources to diversify revenue and protect the organization if any single source was disrupted. Al-Qaeda used both legitimate businesses and illicit activities like money laundering through alternative banking systems to self-fund its operations. Bin Laden's financial model inspired other terrorist groups and his ideology ensured al-Qaeda's mission would continue for generations through ongoing global insurgencies. Efforts to counter terrorist financing have increased international cooperation but challenges remain due to the evolving and adaptive nature of such networks.
A Critical Analysis Of Cross-Border Human Trafficking An Opportunity For The...
This document provides a critical analysis of cross-border human trafficking. It defines cross-border trafficking as the recruitment and movement of people across international borders against their will for exploitation, as outlined in the UN Protocol of 2000. An estimated 800,000 people are trafficked across borders annually. Most victims come from developing countries in regions like the Balkans, former Soviet Union, Brazil, Colombia, and Africa, while most are trafficked to developed regions like Western Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Economic factors, proximity, organized crime, and inequality between origin and destination countries all contribute to cross-border trafficking flows.

The War on Global Crime
Crime has always represented a threat to the security of ordinary people in all countries and occasionally to state institutions. The changing nature of threats to global crime has become greater in recent years and has undermined the capacity of governments to protect citizens and themselves.
The threat to the United States from international crime continues to grow through rapid changes in technology providing a foundation for criminals to exploit the globalization of trade and finance. These developments have helped create new mechanisms for trafficking contraband, conducting illicit trade, laundering money, and engaging in large-scale economic crimes. They have also opened the door to new criminal opportunities.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: THE SECRET WORLD OF MONEY LAUNDERING
Money laundering is a global issue that significantly threatens the
integrity of financial systems and economies worldwide. This paper
presents a theoretical description of money laundering and outlines
the structured activities involved in the process. Additionally, it
explores the electronic methods employed in money laundering,
highlighting the various functions carried out using electronic gadgets
and the internet. The author emphasizes the importance of
understanding the characteristics, reasons, and negative impacts of
money laundering on businesses and economies to gain a clear
perspective on the issue. Money laundering is a criminal act in most
countries, and economically developed nations have established
strong barriers against it. However, the practice persists, and the paper
examines how launderers circumvent these barriers and employ
innovative, illegal methods to convert their illicit money into
legitimate funds. The study found that money launderers employ
various techniques to evade detection and prosecution, including
layering, integration, and placement. Electronic money laundering is
also a growing concern, with online platforms, digital currencies, and
anonymous payment systems providing new avenues for launderers
to conceal their activities. This paper provides an overview of money
laundering and its detrimental effects on the global economy. It
underscores the need for continued efforts by governments, financial
institutions, and law enforcement agencies to combat this menace.
Additionally, it highlights the importance of vigilance and developing
innovative strategies to detect and prevent money laundering.
Illicit financial flows honduras, c.a
Between 2002 and 2011, developing countries lost nearly $6 billion due to illicit financial flows according to Global Financial Integrity. Honduras is particularly affected, with an estimated $31.5 billion lost over the same period, amounting to 20% of its GDP. This money lost to activities like money laundering, trade misinvoicing, and tax evasion has severely impacted Honduras' ability to provide public services and invest in development, keeping many citizens in poverty. While Honduras and international organizations have made some efforts to reduce illicit financial flows through new laws and enforcement, corruption continues to enable criminal networks and strip the country of critical resources.
Extradition within the CEMAC Sub Region Prospects and Perspectives
International co operation in criminal matters amongst states in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community CEMAC is a reality. However, this co operation is increasingly being threatened by weaknesses that fraught the existing extradition legal framework. Criminal offenders often misuse the lack of extradition treaties with other states to decide which state to flee to after committing crimes. The very nature of crime has been evolving, and the failure to bring fugitives to justice represents an acute problem to the party which has been wronged. However, there is no general rule of international law that requires a state to surrender fugitive offenders. This school of thought led to the development of the principle of non extradition of nationals fully practices within CEMAC. It is the right of a state to refuse the extradition of its own nationals. This creates a major challenge to law enforcement officials, for it is an opportunity for transnational criminals to find safe havens. Such a practice in a sub region experiencing the emergence of new crimes like terrorism, endemic corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism, weakens law enforcement given that it makes effective prosecution impossible. Also, an increase in the mobility of suspects has resulted in a greater enthusiasm of states to use cooperation to enforce their domestic criminal law. It is on this premise that this paper intends to examine how states within the CEMAC Sub region use extradition as a tool to combat transnational organised crime. The problems they encounter and probable solutions.

Intelligence Collection
Intelligence collection methods are used by U.S. intelligence agencies to gather information and protect national security. Different agencies employ various collection disciplines including signals intelligence, imagery intelligence, and human intelligence. Open source intelligence is also widely used, accounting for 80-90% of information. Intelligence collection requires balancing resources, time constraints, and the needs of different agencies to provide policymakers with needed information through diverse techniques.
Money Laundering: A Three-Step Secret Game
This paper describes, theoretically, what money laundering is and how it is done following some partnered
activities over time. This paper also looks for electronic money laundering and finds some related and predefined
functions which are completed using electronic gadgets and the Internet. A systematic literature review is
conducted by employing a meta-analysis approach. To give a clear view on money laundering, the author thinks
it is necessary to make it clear first about the characteristics of money laundering, the reasons behind it, and how
it negatively impacts the business and economy of a country. Money laundering is a crime in most nations, and
economically developed countries built a strong fortress against money launderers, but laundering is not stopped.
So, this paper tries to discover what and how the launderers launder and discover inventive ways to turn their
unlawful cash lawful, which the legal authority cannot detect. This paper shows the step-by-step procedures of
these globally illegal money-whitening activities, mostly theoretically

Chapter 1: Introduction
Financial markets teach you humility. Two years ago, I made these
related forecasts. First I forecast the euro would strengthen as
European economic recovery picked up and the US economy
slowed. Second, I forecast euro strength would be augmented over the
next five years by a reduction of Europe's $100 billion to $150 billion
of excess dollar reserves. Third, I forecast that the authorities would be
less concerned over exchange rates, would only intervene after bigger
exchange rate moves, and so exchange rate volatility would rise.
Interestingly, people still ask for my opinion.

7. What criteria would you use to determine whether synesthesia is a disorder or a variation of normal sensation and perception?
8. Why do you think that synesthesia is more common today than it was 20 years ago?
9. Why might it be possible for infants to have synesthesia, but the ability is gradually lost?
10. Would you want to take a genetic test for synesthesia? Cite a reason for your answer.
11. Do you think that synesthesia should be regarded as a learning disability, an advantage, or neither?
Chapter 2 Cells
10. Historical references as well as current anecdotal reports suggest that under very unusual circumstances, males can breastfeed. The Talmud, a book of Jewish law, discusses a man whose wife died and who had no money to pay a wet nurse (a woman who breastfeeds another woman’s child). He was able to nourish the child with his own body. The writings of other religions report similar tales. In agriculture, male goats can receive hormonal treatments and make milk. Do you think that it is possible for a human male to breastfeed, and if so, what conditions must be provided to coax his body to produce and secrete milk?
12. Compare the roles of mitosis and apoptosis in remodeling Sheila’s breast from a fatty sac to an active milk gland.

CHAPTER 1 Overview of Genetics
Senses Working Overtime Eighteen-year-old Sean Maxwell has always perceived the world in an unusual way. To most people, color is a characteristic of an object—a cherry is red; a hippo, gray. To Sean, colors are much more. When he plays a note on his guitar, or hears it from another instrument, a distinctively colored shape pops into his mind. His brain, while perceiving the note as an E flat or a C sharp, creates an overwhelming feeling of iridescent orange-yellow diamonds, or a single, shimmering sky blue crescent. Soaring crescendos of sound become detailed landscapes, peppered with alternating black and white imagery that parallels the staccato notes. These images flash by his consciousness in such rapid succession that he is barely aware of them, yet they seem to burst through his fingers in the patterns of notes that he plays. Sean has experienced these peculiar specific sound-color-shape associations for as ...

Chapter 1 Outline
I. Thinking About Development
A. What Is Human Development?
1. Human development is the multidisciplinary study of how people change and how they remain the same over time.
2. The science of human development (1) reflects the complexity and uniqueness of each person and their experiences, (2) seeks to understand commonalities and patterns across people, (3) is firmly grounded in theory, and (4) seeks to understand human behavior.
B. Recurring Issues in Human Development: Three fundamental issues dominate the study of human development.
1. Nature Versus Nurture is the degree to which genetic influences (nature) or experiential/environmental influences (nurture) determine the kind of person you are. Despite the ongoing debate as to which influence is greater, theorists and researchers recognize that development is always shaped by both—nature and nurture are mutually interactive influences.
2. Continuity Versus Discontinuity focuses on whether a particular developmental phenomenon represents a smooth progression throughout the life span (continuity) or a series of abrupt shifts (discontinuity).
3. Universal Versus Context-Specific Development focuses on whether there is just one path of development or several. In other words, does development follow the same general path in all people, or is it fundamentally different, depending on the sociocultural context?
C. Basic Forces in Human Development: The Biopsychosocial Framework. This framework emphasizes that these four forces are mutually interactive and that development cannot be understood by examining them in isolation. By combining the four developmental forces, we have a view of human development that encompasses the life span, yet appreciates the unique aspects of each phase of life.
1. Biological forces include genetic and health-related factors that affect development. Some biological forces, such as puberty and menopause, are universal and affect people across generations, whereas others, such as diet or disease, affect people in specific generations or occur in a small number of people.
2. Psychological forces include all internal perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and personality factors that affect development. Psychological forces are the ones used most often to describe the characteristics of a person and have received the most attention.
3. Sociocultural forces include interpersonal, societal, cultural, and ethnic factors that affect development. Culture refers to the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors associated with a group of people. Overall, sociocultural forces provide the context or backdrop for development. Consequently, there is a need for research on different cultural groups. Another practical problem is how to describe racial and ethnic groups.
4. Life-cycle forces reflect differences in how the same event affects people of different ages. The influence of life-cycle forces reflects the influences of biological, psychological, and sociocultural force ...

Chapter 1 Juvenile Justice: Myths and RealitiesMyths and Realities
It’s only me.” These were the tragic words spoken by Charles “Andy” Williams as the San Diego Sheriff’s Department SWAT team closed in
on the frail high school sophomore who had just turned 15 years old. Williams had just shot a number of his classmates at Santana High
School, killing two and wounding 13. This was another in a series of school shootings that shocked the nation; however, the young Mr.
Williams did not fit the stereotype of the “superpredator” that has had an undue influence on juvenile justice policy for decades. There have
been other very high-profile cases involving children and teens that have generated a vigorous international debate on needed changes in the
system of justice as applied to young people.
In Birmingham, Alabama, an 8-year-old boy was charged with “viciously” attacking a toddler, Kelci Lewis, and murdering her (Binder, 2015).
The law enforcement officials announced their intent to prosecute the boy as an adult. The accused perpetrator would be among the youngest
criminal court victims in U.S. history. The 8-year-old became angry and violent, and beat the toddler because she would not stop crying. Kelci
suffered severe head trauma and injuries to major internal organs. The victim’s mother, Katerra Lewis, left the two children alone so that she
could attend a local nightclub. There were six other children under the age of 8 also left alone in the house. Within days, the mother was
arrested and charged with manslaughter and released on a $15,000 bond after being in custody for less than 90 minutes. The 8-year-old was
held by the Alabama Department of Human Services pending his adjudication.
A very disturbing video showed a Richland County, South Carolina, deputy sheriff grab a 16-year-old African American teen by her hair,
flipping her out her chair and tossing her across the classroom. The officer wrapped his forearm around her neck and then handcuffed her. It is
alleged that the teen refused to surrender her phone to the deputy. She received multiple injuries from the encounter. The classroom teacher and
a vice principal said that they believed the police response was “appropriate.” The deputy was suspended and subsequently fired after the
Richland County Sheriff reviewed the video. There is a civil suit against the school district and the sheriff’s department for the injuries that
were sustained (Strehike, 2015).
One of the highest profile cases involving juvenile offenders was known as the New York Central Park jogger case (Burns, 2011; Gray, 2013).
In 1989 a young female investment banker was raped, attacked, and left in a coma. The horrendous crime captured worldwide attention.
Initially, 11 young people were arrested and five confessed to the crimes. These five juvenile males, four African American and one Latino,
were convicted for a range of crimes including assault, robbery, rape, and attempted murder. There were two separate jury t ...

Writing the Personal Statement
The personal statement is an important document in your application packet. Admissions committees not only read them, they remember the memorable ones! A strong personal statement can be make-or-break for your application process.
What is it? It’s a combination of things:
· It is a business document: you are selling yourself, and need to know how to do so persuasively.
· It is an argument: you are showing the reader that they need and want you in their
program, but rather than convince with reasons, you are often arguing using narrative.
· It is an assignment, and your target audience is looking for you to show them that you know how to give what is asked for.
Consider your audience. Beware of Web sites and other sources that simply tell you to “tell your story.” Which story will you choose and for which purpose?

Term Paper
This document discusses Mexico's capacity to combat transnational organized crime according to the UN Palermo Convention. It argues that Mexico faces significant challenges in complying with the Convention's standards due to weaknesses in its state capacity. Specifically, Mexican laws and institutions are insufficiently equipped to deal with issues like trafficking of persons, smuggling of migrants, arms trafficking, and drug trafficking as defined by the Convention. Without strengthening its ability to respond effectively, Mexico's efforts to combat transnational crime will be in vain and democracy will suffer.
A case for an International Anti-Corruption Court
The Case for an International Anti-Corruption Court 2 COMBATING GRAND CORRUPTION: THE NEED FOR A NEW INTERNATIONAL APPROACH United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan rightly wrote in 2004 that: Corruption is an insidious plague that has a wide range of corrosive effects on societies. It undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets, erodes the quality of life and allows organized crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish.2 However, this rhetoric contrasts starkly with the reality of the ineffective international efforts to combat corruption. The experience of the United States provides a model for a new international approach to combating corruption. Public corruption exists in the United States. State and local officials, particularly, at times abuse their public offices for private gain. However, in contrast to many other nations, the United States is serious about combating corruption. In the United States, we do not rely on elected state prosecutors to do this because they are often part of the political establishment that must be challenged and, in any event, lack the necessary legal authority and resources. Rather, we rely primarily on federal investigators, prosecutors, and courts to pursue and punish corrupt state and local officials. In the United States, sometimes acting on information provided by private parties who want to remain anonymous, independent media often expose corruption. Federal investigators are authorized to conduct undercover operations and secretly record conversations, and are adept at unraveling complicated financial transactions.
Money laundering and gaming v1
Money laundering is a global problem that threatens national economies. Criminals exploit differences in anti-money laundering laws across jurisdictions to move illicit funds. Estimates suggest $1-2 trillion is laundered annually, though only 1% is seized. Casinos are vulnerable to money laundering due to their large cash transactions and financial services. The gaming industry has shifted focus to Asia, particularly Macau and Latin America is also a growing market. International organizations like FATF issue guidance on combating money laundering, including for casinos. A risk-based approach assesses the inherent and residual risks of money laundering threats based on a casino's activities, geography, clients, and products.
Transnational Crime and the Global Community
Transnational crime involves marketing illegal products or services across international borders to generate profits that support further criminal activity. It affects the global community by destabilizing governments and creating fear among citizens. Over 50 activities fall under transnational crime, including human trafficking, weapons smuggling, and drug trafficking. These criminal operations have far-reaching impacts on human rights and strain local resources and systems. Criminal organizations operate transnational drug and human trafficking rings like businesses, exploiting consumer demand and generating over $193 billion annually from drug sales in the U.S. alone. Violence is often used by these organizations to maintain control and influence.

Cyber Espionage: The Silent Crime of Cyberspace
Virginia Greiman
Boston University, Boston, USA
[email protected]
Abstract: In recent years, the disclosure of secrets through cyber infiltration of America’s largest intelligence organization,
the National Security Agency (NSA), has raised the fears of veteran intelligence officials and close allies around the globe that
no institution or government is secure from those who roam the discrete halls of cyberspace. Although espionage has existed
since before the days of the Greek mythological Trojan horse, no one could have envisioned the sophisticated use of
espionage in today’s networked world. Espionage has been used for political and military intelligence and economic and
industrial pursuits with a lack of understanding of all of the impacts on our daily lives. In the context of foreign or international
law, espionage is sometimes characterized as lawless, without controls or regulation, and it rarely distinguishes between
economic and security based cyber espionage. Through empirical analysis this paper explores the treatment of espionage
under various legal systems including those countries and regions considered the most advanced at cyber espionage, the
United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and China. To provide greater insight into the different perspectives of cyber
espionage from a legal standpoint, this paper distinguishes the law of national intelligence collection from the cr ...
independent graduate study
This document examines international efforts to combat terrorism in light of the 9/11 attacks. It discusses how defining terrorism has been challenging due to conflicting political interests and legal jurisdictions. While international agreements have described certain terrorist acts, there is still no consensus on a definition. The document also summarizes two case studies on the societal impacts of terrorism in the Philippines and Colombia, finding that terrorism can increase violence, restrict travel, and flourish more in urban areas with weaker social controls.

Human Trafficking in United States of America.
Human trafficking is among the Criminal activities that have been so common in most countries worldwide. Some of these countries suffer from the organized crimes by a group of gangsters. The fascinating thing is that majority of these criminal activities are observant with rational choicer theory and the conspiracy theory. By observing these theories imply that the organizers of the crime do it under their full conscience. Before they do the crime, they calculate the impacts of crime and find it more beneficial. They overlook the adverse effects to be outshined by the positive impact. Criminal cases take different nature; some may be due to robbery with violence. Some may be due to conning where the perpetrators of the criminal activity apply their witty character to get what they need from the victims. Human trafficking is one of the criminal activities that has since been ravaging the United States of America.
These criminal activities through human trafficking have impacted the concerned countries in several ways, for example, in the human rights aspect or financial aspect. Several countries, as a result, try as much as possible to combat such criminal cases. The concerned countries address these issues through the inaction of rules and laws that help tackle criminal cases. Others use religious intervention by preaching to people worldwide so that the criminals can change their minds and avoid involved in criminal activities.
This paper aims to address the crime topology of the human trafficking done by Ping in the United States of America. Under this, it will address the nature of people and the society in the country. In addition to that, it will address the structure of the government. The paper captures the scope of the organized crime of human trafficking, the impact of crime on the United States, policies that may help mitigate human trafficking crime, and finally, address the biblical allusion to the aspects of the organized crime above.
Country Analysis

Osamas_Legacy.ppt
Osama bin Laden created a global jihadi financial network by leveraging his personal wealth and donors from Muslim organizations. He decentralized al-Qaeda's funding sources to diversify revenue and protect the organization if any single source was disrupted. Al-Qaeda used both legitimate businesses and illicit activities like money laundering through alternative banking systems to self-fund its operations. Bin Laden's financial model inspired other terrorist groups and his ideology ensured al-Qaeda's mission would continue for generations through ongoing global insurgencies. Efforts to counter terrorist financing have increased international cooperation but challenges remain due to the evolving and adaptive nature of such networks.

This document provides a critical analysis of cross-border human trafficking. It defines cross-border trafficking as the recruitment and movement of people across international borders against their will for exploitation, as outlined in the UN Protocol of 2000. An estimated 800,000 people are trafficked across borders annually. Most victims come from developing countries in regions like the Balkans, former Soviet Union, Brazil, Colombia, and Africa, while most are trafficked to developed regions like Western Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Economic factors, proximity, organized crime, and inequality between origin and destination countries all contribute to cross-border trafficking flows.

The War on Global Crime
Crime has always represented a threat to the security of ordinary people in all countries and occasionally to state institutions. The changing nature of threats to global crime has become greater in recent years and has undermined the capacity of governments to protect citizens and themselves.
The threat to the United States from international crime continues to grow through rapid changes in technology providing a foundation for criminals to exploit the globalization of trade and finance. These developments have helped create new mechanisms for trafficking contraband, conducting illicit trade, laundering money, and engaging in large-scale economic crimes. They have also opened the door to new criminal opportunities.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: THE SECRET WORLD OF MONEY LAUNDERING
Money laundering is a global issue that significantly threatens the
integrity of financial systems and economies worldwide. This paper
presents a theoretical description of money laundering and outlines
the structured activities involved in the process. Additionally, it
explores the electronic methods employed in money laundering,
highlighting the various functions carried out using electronic gadgets
and the internet. The author emphasizes the importance of
understanding the characteristics, reasons, and negative impacts of
money laundering on businesses and economies to gain a clear
perspective on the issue. Money laundering is a criminal act in most
countries, and economically developed nations have established
strong barriers against it. However, the practice persists, and the paper
examines how launderers circumvent these barriers and employ
innovative, illegal methods to convert their illicit money into
legitimate funds. The study found that money launderers employ
various techniques to evade detection and prosecution, including
layering, integration, and placement. Electronic money laundering is
also a growing concern, with online platforms, digital currencies, and
anonymous payment systems providing new avenues for launderers
to conceal their activities. This paper provides an overview of money
laundering and its detrimental effects on the global economy. It
underscores the need for continued efforts by governments, financial
institutions, and law enforcement agencies to combat this menace.
Additionally, it highlights the importance of vigilance and developing
innovative strategies to detect and prevent money laundering.
Illicit financial flows honduras, c.a
Between 2002 and 2011, developing countries lost nearly $6 billion due to illicit financial flows according to Global Financial Integrity. Honduras is particularly affected, with an estimated $31.5 billion lost over the same period, amounting to 20% of its GDP. This money lost to activities like money laundering, trade misinvoicing, and tax evasion has severely impacted Honduras' ability to provide public services and invest in development, keeping many citizens in poverty. While Honduras and international organizations have made some efforts to reduce illicit financial flows through new laws and enforcement, corruption continues to enable criminal networks and strip the country of critical resources.
Extradition within the CEMAC Sub Region Prospects and Perspectives
International co operation in criminal matters amongst states in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community CEMAC is a reality. However, this co operation is increasingly being threatened by weaknesses that fraught the existing extradition legal framework. Criminal offenders often misuse the lack of extradition treaties with other states to decide which state to flee to after committing crimes. The very nature of crime has been evolving, and the failure to bring fugitives to justice represents an acute problem to the party which has been wronged. However, there is no general rule of international law that requires a state to surrender fugitive offenders. This school of thought led to the development of the principle of non extradition of nationals fully practices within CEMAC. It is the right of a state to refuse the extradition of its own nationals. This creates a major challenge to law enforcement officials, for it is an opportunity for transnational criminals to find safe havens. Such a practice in a sub region experiencing the emergence of new crimes like terrorism, endemic corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism, weakens law enforcement given that it makes effective prosecution impossible. Also, an increase in the mobility of suspects has resulted in a greater enthusiasm of states to use cooperation to enforce their domestic criminal law. It is on this premise that this paper intends to examine how states within the CEMAC Sub region use extradition as a tool to combat transnational organised crime. The problems they encounter and probable solutions.

Intelligence Collection
Intelligence collection methods are used by U.S. intelligence agencies to gather information and protect national security. Different agencies employ various collection disciplines including signals intelligence, imagery intelligence, and human intelligence. Open source intelligence is also widely used, accounting for 80-90% of information. Intelligence collection requires balancing resources, time constraints, and the needs of different agencies to provide policymakers with needed information through diverse techniques.
Money Laundering: A Three-Step Secret Game
This paper describes, theoretically, what money laundering is and how it is done following some partnered
activities over time. This paper also looks for electronic money laundering and finds some related and predefined
functions which are completed using electronic gadgets and the Internet. A systematic literature review is
conducted by employing a meta-analysis approach. To give a clear view on money laundering, the author thinks
it is necessary to make it clear first about the characteristics of money laundering, the reasons behind it, and how
it negatively impacts the business and economy of a country. Money laundering is a crime in most nations, and
economically developed countries built a strong fortress against money launderers, but laundering is not stopped.
So, this paper tries to discover what and how the launderers launder and discover inventive ways to turn their
unlawful cash lawful, which the legal authority cannot detect. This paper shows the step-by-step procedures of
these globally illegal money-whitening activities, mostly theoretically

Chapter 1: Introduction
Financial markets teach you humility. Two years ago, I made these
related forecasts. First I forecast the euro would strengthen as
European economic recovery picked up and the US economy
slowed. Second, I forecast euro strength would be augmented over the
next five years by a reduction of Europe's $100 billion to $150 billion
of excess dollar reserves. Third, I forecast that the authorities would be
less concerned over exchange rates, would only intervene after bigger
exchange rate moves, and so exchange rate volatility would rise.
Interestingly, people still ask for my opinion.

7. What criteria would you use to determine whether synesthesia is a disorder or a variation of normal sensation and perception?
8. Why do you think that synesthesia is more common today than it was 20 years ago?
9. Why might it be possible for infants to have synesthesia, but the ability is gradually lost?
10. Would you want to take a genetic test for synesthesia? Cite a reason for your answer.
11. Do you think that synesthesia should be regarded as a learning disability, an advantage, or neither?
Chapter 2 Cells
10. Historical references as well as current anecdotal reports suggest that under very unusual circumstances, males can breastfeed. The Talmud, a book of Jewish law, discusses a man whose wife died and who had no money to pay a wet nurse (a woman who breastfeeds another woman’s child). He was able to nourish the child with his own body. The writings of other religions report similar tales. In agriculture, male goats can receive hormonal treatments and make milk. Do you think that it is possible for a human male to breastfeed, and if so, what conditions must be provided to coax his body to produce and secrete milk?
12. Compare the roles of mitosis and apoptosis in remodeling Sheila’s breast from a fatty sac to an active milk gland.

CHAPTER 1 Overview of Genetics
Senses Working Overtime Eighteen-year-old Sean Maxwell has always perceived the world in an unusual way. To most people, color is a characteristic of an object—a cherry is red; a hippo, gray. To Sean, colors are much more. When he plays a note on his guitar, or hears it from another instrument, a distinctively colored shape pops into his mind. His brain, while perceiving the note as an E flat or a C sharp, creates an overwhelming feeling of iridescent orange-yellow diamonds, or a single, shimmering sky blue crescent. Soaring crescendos of sound become detailed landscapes, peppered with alternating black and white imagery that parallels the staccato notes. These images flash by his consciousness in such rapid succession that he is barely aware of them, yet they seem to burst through his fingers in the patterns of notes that he plays. Sean has experienced these peculiar specific sound-color-shape associations for as ...
Chapter 1 OutlineI. Thinking About DevelopmentA. What Is Hum
Chapter 1 Outline
I. Thinking About Development
A. What Is Human Development?
1. Human development is the multidisciplinary study of how people change and how they remain the same over time.
2. The science of human development (1) reflects the complexity and uniqueness of each person and their experiences, (2) seeks to understand commonalities and patterns across people, (3) is firmly grounded in theory, and (4) seeks to understand human behavior.
B. Recurring Issues in Human Development: Three fundamental issues dominate the study of human development.
1. Nature Versus Nurture is the degree to which genetic influences (nature) or experiential/environmental influences (nurture) determine the kind of person you are. Despite the ongoing debate as to which influence is greater, theorists and researchers recognize that development is always shaped by both—nature and nurture are mutually interactive influences.
2. Continuity Versus Discontinuity focuses on whether a particular developmental phenomenon represents a smooth progression throughout the life span (continuity) or a series of abrupt shifts (discontinuity).
3. Universal Versus Context-Specific Development focuses on whether there is just one path of development or several. In other words, does development follow the same general path in all people, or is it fundamentally different, depending on the sociocultural context?
C. Basic Forces in Human Development: The Biopsychosocial Framework. This framework emphasizes that these four forces are mutually interactive and that development cannot be understood by examining them in isolation. By combining the four developmental forces, we have a view of human development that encompasses the life span, yet appreciates the unique aspects of each phase of life.
1. Biological forces include genetic and health-related factors that affect development. Some biological forces, such as puberty and menopause, are universal and affect people across generations, whereas others, such as diet or disease, affect people in specific generations or occur in a small number of people.
2. Psychological forces include all internal perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and personality factors that affect development. Psychological forces are the ones used most often to describe the characteristics of a person and have received the most attention.
3. Sociocultural forces include interpersonal, societal, cultural, and ethnic factors that affect development. Culture refers to the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors associated with a group of people. Overall, sociocultural forces provide the context or backdrop for development. Consequently, there is a need for research on different cultural groups. Another practical problem is how to describe racial and ethnic groups.
4. Life-cycle forces reflect differences in how the same event affects people of different ages. The influence of life-cycle forces reflects the influences of biological, psychological, and sociocultural force ...

It’s only me.” These were the tragic words spoken by Charles “Andy” Williams as the San Diego Sheriff’s Department SWAT team closed in
on the frail high school sophomore who had just turned 15 years old. Williams had just shot a number of his classmates at Santana High
School, killing two and wounding 13. This was another in a series of school shootings that shocked the nation; however, the young Mr.
Williams did not fit the stereotype of the “superpredator” that has had an undue influence on juvenile justice policy for decades. There have
been other very high-profile cases involving children and teens that have generated a vigorous international debate on needed changes in the
system of justice as applied to young people.
In Birmingham, Alabama, an 8-year-old boy was charged with “viciously” attacking a toddler, Kelci Lewis, and murdering her (Binder, 2015).
The law enforcement officials announced their intent to prosecute the boy as an adult. The accused perpetrator would be among the youngest
criminal court victims in U.S. history. The 8-year-old became angry and violent, and beat the toddler because she would not stop crying. Kelci
suffered severe head trauma and injuries to major internal organs. The victim’s mother, Katerra Lewis, left the two children alone so that she
could attend a local nightclub. There were six other children under the age of 8 also left alone in the house. Within days, the mother was
arrested and charged with manslaughter and released on a $15,000 bond after being in custody for less than 90 minutes. The 8-year-old was
held by the Alabama Department of Human Services pending his adjudication.
A very disturbing video showed a Richland County, South Carolina, deputy sheriff grab a 16-year-old African American teen by her hair,
flipping her out her chair and tossing her across the classroom. The officer wrapped his forearm around her neck and then handcuffed her. It is
alleged that the teen refused to surrender her phone to the deputy. She received multiple injuries from the encounter. The classroom teacher and
a vice principal said that they believed the police response was “appropriate.” The deputy was suspended and subsequently fired after the
Richland County Sheriff reviewed the video. There is a civil suit against the school district and the sheriff’s department for the injuries that
were sustained (Strehike, 2015).
One of the highest profile cases involving juvenile offenders was known as the New York Central Park jogger case (Burns, 2011; Gray, 2013).
In 1989 a young female investment banker was raped, attacked, and left in a coma. The horrendous crime captured worldwide attention.
Initially, 11 young people were arrested and five confessed to the crimes. These five juvenile males, four African American and one Latino,
were convicted for a range of crimes including assault, robbery, rape, and attempted murder. There were two separate jury t ...

Writing the Personal Statement
The personal statement is an important document in your application packet. Admissions committees not only read them, they remember the memorable ones! A strong personal statement can be make-or-break for your application process.
What is it? It’s a combination of things:
· It is a business document: you are selling yourself, and need to know how to do so persuasively.
· It is an argument: you are showing the reader that they need and want you in their
program, but rather than convince with reasons, you are often arguing using narrative.
· It is an assignment, and your target audience is looking for you to show them that you know how to give what is asked for.
Consider your audience. Beware of Web sites and other sources that simply tell you to “tell your story.” Which story will you choose and for which purpose?

Chapter 1: Introduction
This research paper seeks to examine the relationship between strategic performance and appraisal systems in contemporary organizations. Strategic management in organizations refers to setting goals, procedures, and objectives to gain a competitive advantage. The strategies aim at making businesses distinct from their competitors while attracting consumers to the market. Stakeholders in business entities use strategic management approaches to execute short- and long-term organizational projects. Some strategies include innovation, product segmentation, and corporate social responsibility. On the other hand, a performance appraisal system refers to identifying, evaluating, and developing the work performance of employees to aid in the process of achieving the organization's goals and processes. The organization has to track the performance progress of each employee to keep them accountable for their roles at the workplace.
The definition of the appraisal system and strategic management incorporates objectives and goals. Consequently, the purpose of both strategic management and performance appraisal is to deliver the existing objectives and stay ahead of competitors. The performance appraisal system denotes the type of assessment used by an organization to measure performance. There are different assessment methods. One of the evaluation techniques is straight ranking appraisal where employees are ranked from the best performers to poor performers. Another assessment criterion is grading where employees are assigned specific grades for their performance in different areas. There is also the management-by-objective method of review. The employees and managers set goals under the approach and measure them at the end of the agreed time. Organizations may also assess their employees based on their behaviors and conduct at the workplace. Lastly, organizations can adopt a 360-degree assessment method where employees and managers are assessed. Organizations use one or a combination of the frameworks to evaluate the employees with a view of improving performance.
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between strategic management and performance appraisal systems. The study will evaluate whether managers consider their strategies when selecting the appraisal system or consider other factors. Also, the study will assess the implications of selecting an appraisal system based on the existing strategies in different organizations and the impacts of ignoring organizational strategies when deciding on the performance of the appraisal system. The findings will be crucial in the organizational and human resource management field setting the stage for further research.
Statement of Problem
A brief literature review reveals that there is little to no information on balancing between appraisal systems and organizational strategies. Most researchers in the field tend to focus on how appraisal systems boost organizatio ...

Effective Business Communication
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual
valuing.
Rollo May
I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure
you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
Robert J. McCloskey, former State Department spokesman
Getting Started
I N T R O D U C T O R Y E X E R C I S E S
1. Write five words that express what you want to do and where you want to be a year
from now. Take those five words and write a paragraph that clearly articulates your
responses to both “what” and “where.”
2. Think of five words that express what you want to do and where you want to be five
years from now. Share your five words with your classmates and listen to their
responses. What patterns do you observe in the responses? Write a paragraph that
addresses at least one observation.
Communication is an activity, skill, and art that incorporates lessons learned across a
wide spectrum of human knowledge. Perhaps the most time-honored form of
communication is storytelling. We’ve told each other stories for ages to help make sense
of our world, anticipate the future, and certainly to entertain ourselves. The art of
storytelling draws on your understanding of yourself, your message, and how you
communicate it to an audience that is simultaneously communicating back to you. Your
anticipation, reaction, and adaptation to the process will determine how successfully
you are able to communicate. You were not born knowing how to write or even how to
talk—but in the process of growing up, you have undoubtedly learned how to tell, and
how not tell, a story out loud and in writing.

You didn’t learn to text in a day and didn’t learn all the codes—from LOL (laugh out
loud) to BRB (be right back)—right away. In the same way, learning to communicate
well requires you to read and study how others have expressed themselves, then adapt
what you have learned to your present task—whether it is texting a brief message to a
friend, presenting your qualifications in a job interview, or writing a business report.
You come to this text with skills and an understanding that will provide a valuable
foundation as we explore the communication process.
Effective communication takes preparation, practice, and persistence. There are many

The “Knowing−Doing” Gap
Change capability has become a core managerial competency
But managers’ abilities to deliver on change are modest at best
There is a major “knowing−doing” gap
Knowing concepts and theories is not enough
Managers need to become effective agents of change, possessing the will and skills to make positive change happen

CONCEPTIONS OF CURRICULUMThe track—the curriculum—has become one of the key concerns of today’s schools. The quest for a definition of curriculum has taxed many an educator. In many schools a written plan may be called a curriculum, but a curriculum encompasses many more entities than a written plan.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Career Development in the Global Economy and Its Role in Social Justice
Things to Remember
· The reality of the global economy and its implications for employment in the United States
· Why the need for career development services may be at its highest level in half a century
· The language of career development The reasons that careers and career development are important in the fight for social justice
· The major events in the history of career development
History of Vocational Guidance and Career Development
As will be discussed later in this chapter, there are currently calls for the adoption of a new paradigm for the theory and practice of career counseling and career development services that focuses on both individuals and the social contexts in which they function. These ideas are not new, but throughout much of the twentieth century they were neglected. The call for understanding the individual and how he or she is influenced by his or her context is a century-old echo of the voices of the social reformers who founded the vocational guidance movement in education, business, industry, and elsewhere. Reformers in Boston, Massachusetts; San Francisco, California; and Grand Rapids, Michigan, focused on immigrants from Europe who came to the United States by the tens of thousands; high school dropouts who were unprepared for the changing workplace; oppression in the workplace; substandard public schools; and the need to apply scientific principles to career planning and vocational education. It is the latter idea, the focus on scientific principles that has received the most criticism, along with the failure to adequately address multicultural issues. Currently, some career development specialists are urging practitioners to abandon theories and strategies rooted in modern philosophies in favor of those rooted in postmodernism.
Looking backward to 1913 and earlier, it is worth noting that social reformers formed the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education (NSPIE) in 1906, which became the parent organization of the National Vocational Guidance Association (NVGA) in 1913. These reformers were advocates for vocational education, and they carried their fight to state legislators, to the National Education Association, and beyond. One of NSPIE’s achievements was drafting and successfully lobbying for the passage of the Smith–Hughes act in 1917, legislation that laid the foundation for land grant universities and vocational education in public schools (Stephens, 1970).
These earlier reformers were advocates. One mechanism they used to initiate local reforms was the settlement house, which was a place in a working-class neighborhood that housed researchers who studied people’s lives and problems in that neighborhood. In 1901, Frank Parsons founded the Civic Service House in Boston’s North End, and in 1908, the Vocation Bureau, an adjunct of the Boston Civic Service House, was opened. Leader ...

The Americas, Europe, and Africa Before 1492
Chapter Outline
1.1 The Americas
1.2 Europe on the Brink of Change
1.3 West Africa and the Role of Slavery
Introduction
Globalization, the ever-increasing interconnectedness of the world, is not a new phenomenon,
but it accelerated when western Europeans discovered the riches of the East. During the
Crusades (1095–1291), Europeans developed an appetite for spices, silk, porcelain, sugar, and
other luxury items from the East, for which they traded fur, timber, and Slavic people they
captured and sold (hence the word slave). But when the Silk Road, the long overland trading
route from China to the Mediterranean, became costlier and more dangerous to travel, Europeans
searched for a more efficient and inexpensive trade route over water, initiating the development
of what we now call the Atlantic World.
In pursuit of commerce in Asia, fifteenth-century traders unexpectedly encountered a “New
World” populated by millions and home to sophisticated and numerous peoples. Mistakenly
believing they had reached the East Indies, these early explorers called its inhabitants Indians.
West Africa, a diverse and culturally rich area, soon entered the stage as other nations exploited
its slave trade and brought its peoples to the New World in chains. Although Europeans would
come to dominate the New World, they could not have done so without Africans and native
peoples.
1.1 The Americas
By the end of this section, you will be able to:
● Locate on a map the major American civilizations before the arrival of the Spanish
● Discuss the cultural achievements of these civilizations
● Discuss the differences and similarities between lifestyles, religious practices, and
customs among the native peoples
Chapter 1 | The Americas, Europe, and Africa Before 1492
Between nine and fifteen thousand years ago, some scholars believe that a land bridge existed
between Asia and North America that we now call Beringia . The first inhabitants of what would
be named the Americas migrated across this bridge in search of food. When the glaciers melted,
water engulfed Beringia, and the Bering Strait was formed. Later settlers came by boat across the
narrow strait. (The fact that Asians and American Indians share genetic markers on a Y
chromosome lends credibility to this migration theory.) Continually moving southward, the
settlers eventually populated both North and South America, creating unique cultures that ranged
from the highly complex and urban Aztec civilization in what is now Mexico City to the
woodland tribes of eastern North America. Recent research along the west coast of South
America suggests that migrant populations may have traveled down this coast by water as well
as by land.
Researchers believe that about ten thousand years ago, humans also began the domestication of
plants and animals, a ...

Chapter 1 - Overview
Gang Growth and Migration Studies
v A
Now we will examine the problems and issues of not having a nationally accepted definition for a street gang. We will also examine mechanisms that influence gang migration and growth. After reading this section you will also understand that there are sub-populations within the general gang population.
Two of the most frequently asked questions about the gang sub-culture are: Why do gangs grow? Why do gangs migrate? Some law enforcement officials, politicians, educators and parents might suggest and believe that youth in their city are only “imitating” tougher L.A. street gangs or that the gang problem in their jurisdiction is result of migrating gang members from Los Angeles or Chicago. You will hear the terms “wanna be” or “street comer groups” or “misguided youth” used to describe the groups and you can be given a number of reasons why the groups in these areas are not gangs. You might also hear comments suggesting that gang imitation and migration are the reasons why street gangs have now been reported in all 50 states.
Gang Definition
There is another issue here that has to be addressed before the questions can be asked. It is accepting a standard to measure gang growth and migration. That standard is the definition of a street gang. Developing and then using a nationally accepted definition for a street gang becomes the fundamental basis to build examination of growth and migration. Having a standard definition becomes the fundamental building block to answer the two questions.
Studying gang growth is a little more complicated than just surveying cities for data. Without a standard gang definition to identify a gang, any official findings could be biased and misleading. Any responding jurisdiction could potentially use a different definition to identify the gangs in their area. Often, law enforcers, the public, educators and politicians use a penal code gang based definitions of a criminal street gang as a general working definition for a street gang. If the gang does fit within this legal definition used for penalty enhancement only, then the group is not reported as a gang according to this philosophy. The jurisdiction has no gangs. You can clearly see the issue here.
This will certainly lead to under reporting the number and types of street gangs present. Using a legal based definition of a street gang is appropriate from a prosecutor’s point of view. Unfortunately, too many communities, politicians, educators, parents and law enforcement officials use this philosophy. This way of thinking will only reinforce denial and delay the identification and treatment of the gang-community issue.
Many states now have gang enhancement laws similar to California Penal Code Section 186.22. In California this law is commonly known as the STEP Act. It outlines a legal definition for a violent criminal street gang. That definition is used to qualify a defendant(s) for sentencing

Chapter 06: Video Case - Theo Chocolate Company
Video Transcript:
>> It's rich, it's velvety, it's almost sinful. But creating the perfect bar at this Seattle chocolate factory is about more than just the ingredients on the wrapper.
>> I feel that everybody in the whole supply chain, all he way back to the farmers, should be better off as a result of this delicious food that we use to share with the people we love.
>> So these are these are the beans.
>> These are the beans; this is cacao.
>> At Theo Chocolate, owner Joe Whinney pays farmers two to three times more than the going rate to buy this cacao from the Democratic Republic of Congo, or DRC.
>> Where does cocoa come from? It's coming from farmers in Africa, and in Indonesia, and in Central and South America.
>> Whinney believes that Americans will be willing to pay more for chocolate if they know that, in turn, impoverished farmers will earn more.
>> Of all places, why Congo
>> Why Congo? Well, it was really Ben Affleck's fault.
>> Yes. That Ben Affleck.
>> Like this?
>> Like -- yeah. See that's really well fermented, this isn't.
>> Earlier this year, we joined Ben Affleck and Joe Whinney on a trip to the DRC. Cacao can only grow within a narrow climate zone close to the equator. In 2009, Affleck started a charity called Eastern Congo Initiative to spur economic development in this war-torn region. Five million people have died here due to decades of conflict.
>> As I was reading and I just sort of stumbled upon some of the statistics, and I was struck not only by the numbers, but by the fact that, you know, I hadn't heard about it.
>> So Affleck decided to use his celebrity as a sort of currency to attract investment. He led a small group of philanthropists, protected by armed guards, through jungles where cacao trees thrived and farmers struggled.
>> The cocoa industry here has potential if the value can be increased.
>> For the last two years, Affleck's Eastern Congo Initiative has worked with Whinney and local groups to train farmers to improve the crop. Cacao grows in these greenish-yellow pods that are cracked open to harvest. It's quite slimy, huh?
>> It is. But when you suck on it, it's absolutely delicious.
>> It doesn't taste like chocolate at all.
>> Not at all, does it.
>> It tastes like passion fruit or something.
>> Theo Chocolate has now committed to buy 340 tons of cacao from the DRC --
>> This is really good quality.
>> -- creating a dependable export market.
>> We have brought these people together. They're selling to a chocolate company in the United States. Those markets had been completely closed off to them in the past. And it's not just aid, it's investment.
>> We have security guards around us. There have been attacks recently. This is a tough place to do business.
>> It is, but that's also a place that really needs this kind of business.
>> Business in Seattle is a little sweeter these days. Theo is raising money for charity with its $5 Congo ...

- 1. Cassandra Ferraro 5:18pmAug 17 at 5:18pm Manage Discussion Entry Money laundering is an illicit criminal activity that threatens the United States on both a national and transnational level. First addressed in the UN Vienna 1988 Convention, money laundering is described as “the conversion or transfer of property, knowing that such property is derived from any offense(s), for the purpose of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of the property or of assisting any person who is involved in such offense(s) to evade the legal consequences of his actions” (United Nations, 2021). There are three stages of money laundering. The first, placement, is the removal of money from the illicit crime. The second, layering, is disguising the money trail. The third, integration, happens when the money is made available to the launders in what appears to be from a legitimate source. While there are many money laundering possibilities, money laundering is especially a threat to the United States because often times, money laundering finances terrorism. Terrorist financing is the means that terrorist organizations financially support their efforts to pose a threat to national and international security (United Nations, 2021). Due to developments in technology, money launders that used to be operate through cash and checks, can now conduct their business through other financial means, to include bitcoin and other electronic currencies (Department of State, 2021). In 2020, the United Nations stated that approximately $1.6 trillion are laundered every year, which is 2.7% of the global GDP (United Nations, 2020). Unfortunately, experts believe that that number will be higher in 2021 due to many criminals taking advantage of the pandemic. Dr. Mayaki stated that the government’s increased control over healthcare and social protection has led to relaxed measures regarding illegal operations and money laundering (United Nations, 2020).
- 2. However, relaxing our standards, even in this time of need, further victimizes American people. Money laundering can transcend over many different local, state, and international jurisdictions, all which leaves the United State’s borders vulnerable. In August of 2021, for example, a Chinese national and several naturalized US citizens were arrested and pled guilty to laundering $30 million in drug money in collaboration with international drug-trafficking organizations (DOJ, 2021). The American citizens involved in this investigation worked closely with citizens of Hong Kong to move profits from their cocaine operation through the global financial system. Not only were the defendants smuggling drug money and disguising it as legal profit, but they also worked with who they thought was a corrupt US Department of State Official to obtain illegally made passports (DOJ, 2021). This investigation, while fruitful, was a result of a collaboration against many different government agencies. Like many other money laundering schemes, these individuals could have created the opportunity for terrorists or criminals to enter the United States under illegally made passports. Once inside the border, these terrorists and criminals would have opportunities to victimize the United States government and its citizens. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is a unit under the US Department of Treasury that combats money laundering and crimes associated with money laundering, while promoting national security (FinCen, 2021). They also enforce the Bank Secrecy Act, which was the first Federal anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing statute. The financial crimes enforcement network collects and analyzes date regarding money laundering so that the information can be shared with other law enforcement agencies. This shared information leads to the prevention, detection, and prosecution of money laundering operations on a local, national, and international level (FinCen, 2021). The Financial Action Task Force is another unit under the US Department of Treasury that combats money laundering and, specifically, the financing of terrorism.
- 3. The Financial Action Task Force set international standards regarding money laundering. They have established the policies and procedures that countries should have in place n their criminal justice systems, preventative measures for financial institutions to put in place, and put the proper people in the places possible to enforce said policies and procedures (FinCen, 2021). Money laundering, in one sense, is the act of lying. By concealing illegally obtained money as a legitimate profit, money launderers are lying. “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight” (Proverbs 12:22). God teaches honesty and integrity. Those who engage in money laundering operations are not following God’s word. The amount of money they can obtain leaves them blind to the desecration of their ethics and morality. Over time, lying about the legality of the money is normal, but they will suffer the consequences of their greed. “The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and snare of death” (Proverbs 21:6). Word count: 766 DOJ. (2021, August 3). Leader of transnational money- laundering network pleads guilty to aiding drug-trafficking organizations, while co-conspirator is sentenced.

Lori Quist 2:28pmAug 17 at 2:28pm Manage Discussion Entry A Connection between Transnational Organized Crime and Terrorism Transnational organized crime involves billion-dollar empires that provide illegal services and products on the global market (Albanese & Reichel, 2014). In addition, internationally terrorist movements rely on underground organized crime operations to supply military-grade weapons through the trafficking networks established by organized crime groups. The collaboration between insurgent and international organized crime groups creates a nexus and links them to business ventures. Global terrorist operations generate demand for weapons that will only be met by filtering in organizations that have access to arms and equipment needed to meet the needs of their violent missions and tendencies. The link between global terrorism and weapons of mass destruction is another area that the United States has highlighted in the war on terror as early as 1987 (U.S. Department of Justice, 1987). Another consideration when identifying the nexus that links organized crime and transnational crime is the trafficking of drugs. The enormous profits gained by the sale of narcotics across international borders allow terrorist organizations to fund their purchases of military weapons needed to carry out their organizational plans. The COVID-19 pandemic has created vulnerabilities in travel plans and border security, and transnational criminals are taking advantage of those inconsistencies (Homeland Security Today, 2020). In addition, lockdowns of large metropolis cities and restrictions associated with the pandemic have created opportunities for terrorist cells to launder money more efficiently and fund global terrorist strikes. Online crime is also
- 5. an area of concern; with a recent rise as high as three hundred fifty percent, phishing scams target vulnerable populations with a weak understanding of technology. The profits gained by elaborate phishing scams provide another means for funding terrorist activities. The last area that Homeland Security Today highlights are the propaganda campaigns that spread misinformation to citizens and exploit the financial hardships experienced due to the global pandemic. Terrorist groups spread misinformation to confuse the general public, divide groups and spread fear and push community members against their governments to recruit new members to their radical terrorist groups. Responses to terrorism are needed now more than ever as the COVID-19 pandemic has created rifts in information, government responses, and structures, and border security issues (United Nations, 2020). The United Nations explains that cross-national coordination of security services is needed to combat crime, identify potential targets and develop appropriate responses to keep each country safe. The United Nations report outlines a need to share resources, including border liai sons, agreements to share information, and cross-border support systems. The Department of Defense spoke publicly in 2012 regarded a dual-purpose mission to combat organized crime and fight anticipated terrorism (The U.S. Department of Defense, 2012). Of course, with 911 happening the year before tensions were high within security in the United States, outlining processes to change the face of terrorist attacks was at the forefront of national concerns (ABC News, 2021). The ever- present threat of terrorist operations funded by ongoing organized crime calls for collaborative, progressive responses by global governmental agencies worldwide. Religion and Cultural Links to Terrorism After the Al Qaeda terrorist attacks on the United States, the Muslim religion was targeted and stereotyped as a cause of discord and potential for those attacks (International Institute for Counter-Terrorism, 2006). The feeling worldwide is that
- 6. extreme terrorist groups are the norm in the Muslim faith. Still, in reality, a small percent of the religious populations and not all middle-eastern people have those radical views and beliefs. Terrorist groups believe that the acts committed are a divine intervention or sanctimonious action in the form of violence. The teachings in the Muslim religions are not unlike the instructions in the Christian faiths and can be left up to one’s interpretation and not act violently because he interpreted that way. Understanding the teachings in religion adds to the context and literal view it holds, “And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it” (King James Bible, 1769/2017, Deuteronomy 20:12). Reading the above passage from the King James Bible, a person could take the meaning as an order to strike or capture when others could look at it as a reckoning or a way to stop the violence. People have choices in faith and its literal meanings; this merely explains that context and interpretation can change the whole face of its message. References ABC News.

Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon initial posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in the initial posts. As such, reply posts that merely affirm, restate, or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions. Reference Expectations: You must use a minimum of 8 recent relevant sources. You may use .gov sources, UN, and foreign government websites as your recent and relevant sources if the writing is academic in nature (authored works) or well researched (CIA or State Department). Although the rigor of the quality references is not as demanding as your previous papers – you will still be graded on your reference quality. If you have questions about the applicability of references, contact your professor prior to submitting. Prompt: Potential linkages in transnational organized crime and terrorism are a concern.

Using the construct explained above, prepare a post/paper and PowerPoint analyzing the potential transnational organized crime – terrorism nexus and the effect on global security as well as homeland security in the United States. Please note the topic above could easily be a thesis length paper. Your challenge will be to hone and narrow your PowerPoint presentation through a good thesis statement to fall within the length constraints provided. If you wish to go over slide count/word count, please contact your instructor for permission to do so. This course utilizes the Post-First feature in all Discussions.
